Construction Handwoven of 52% wool and 48% viscose in India. This product celebrates and preserves artisan handcraft traditions around the world. Self binding results in a rug that resists curling and maintains its quality over time. Looped pile with randomly sheared tips; feels soft and springy under foot. The synthetic latex provides a more durable and flexible backing that reduces odor and extends the rug’s life; it does not present a risk to those with latex allergies, nor does it dry out or break down over time. Rug Pad recommended (sold separately); combine or cut pads to fit your order. Imported. Pile Height: 0.25" Care Shedding of loose fibers is normal and will diminish over time with regular vacuuming. Due to the natural fibers and craftsmanship minor imperfections may appear in the weave. These are not defects but common occurrences in items of this nature. To prevent dust and crumbs from settling into your rug, vacuum regularly and/or shake. Do not pull loose ends. Clip them with scissors to remove. Keep away from excessive moisture. Blot spills immediately with a white cloth. Professional rug cleaning recommended as needed. Harsh chemicals may damage or fade rug. Use rug protectors under heavy furniture.
